Cleaning
We recommend a regular cleaning schedule for your Geo SL acceptor. Depending on local environmental and
usage, the Geo SL
should be cleaned at least every 3 months, more regularly in areas of high dust and
contamination. The Geo
utilizes IR sensors along the note path to collect data off the bank note. During use, dust,
contamination and foreign objects can collect along the note path and over the sensors, degrading their performance
over time. Cleaning your Geo
SL
on a regular basis will assure maximum performance and validation rates.
On-site cleaning
We realize that it may be impossible for you to remove your Geo SL
out of its application while in the field to perform
a thorough cleaning. In these instances, we recommend that you obtain a can of compressed
air
and guide the
output toward the note entry area. This will remove any excess dust or foreign objects that may have collected over
the sensors located along the note path.
Thorough Cleaning
To perform a more thorough cleaning of the Geo SL, open the upper section by pressing on the two yellow release
buttons and lift gently (for further detail, refer to page 4 of this manual). This allows access to the note path. We
recommend that you use a mild soap/water combination and damp, dust free towel and wipe the note path area and
sensors. Do not put the water directly onto the acceptor, Only apply to a cloth. Dry thoroughly and close the upper
section.
DO NOT USE ALCOHOL OR AMMONIA to clean your Geo SL as this will degrade the sensor apertures
and drive wheels and will seriously affect the long-term reliability.
Maintenance
The Geo SL was designed to provide you with simple, trouble free operation. By keeping your Geo SL clean, you
should enjoy many years of trouble free use. Refer to the top mounted diagnostic LED on the Geo. If the LED is
flashing, refer to the diagnostic card on the top of the unit to detail the possible problem. If you cannot rectify a
problem on site, please contact your local MEI authorized service center or MEI.
